Thousands of Portlanders will benefit from Powell-Division transit improvements

Every day thousands of people ride TriMet bus lines 4 and 9 along the Division and Powell corridors between Portland and Gresham. To improve riders’ daily trip experience, the Powell-Division Transit and Development project will plan for a new high capacity transit line that connects Portland’s Central City and the Gresham Regional Center along the Powell-Division corridor. The project team, led by Metro, includes the cities of Portland and Gresham, TriMet, Multnomah County and Oregon Department of Transportation.

High capacity transit service is faster than traditional bus service, and can be bus rapid transit, light rail or rapid streetcar. The planning phase runs through spring 2015. Elected officials will consider the recommended route and mode choice after the public, project team and steering committee identify and analyze transit options. In fall 2014, Portland and Gresham staff will work with residents to develop land-use visions for a small set of potential station areas.

More information about the project process and timeline is available on the Metro and City of Portland websites.
